Chelsea ‘very close’ to defeating Real Madrid to Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina — reports
Chelsea is “very close” to signing Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina, according to MLS and USMNT source Tom Bogert, and best wishes to all of them, Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea is also close to signing him in February, but he has to wait due to fines and restrictions.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has made an offer for the 18-year-old, but it appears he refuses, choosing the Blues instead.
Characters! (Wolverhampton Wanderers are also mentioned, but not anymore.)
Chelsea is likely to spend € 10m on the US, which will lend to Chicago to continue its development.
He is far from finished, but he has the size and ability to become a senior in a few years.
Already the youngest guard in MLS history, he was called up to the Polish team last month before retiring and leaving for the US.
